Temptation is Everywhere

uniquely-ironic posted on Jul 15, 2009 | views: 122 | Tags: work, Dieting

Sitting at my desk.  It's 4:15 pm and all of a sudden I'm ravenously hungry and thirsty.

I pull open my desk drawer.  I remember I left a partially full box of Nerds in it!!!

To my pleasant surprise there is also a bag of Gardettos that I had forgotten about.

My eyes dart back and forth.  Sugary goodness or savory saltiness?  Hmmmmm.

*sigh*

I close the drawer with both items still in it.

This dieting thing SUCKS!

I walk to the break room and fill my water bottle, by passing the bottle caps candies and the vending machine.

    And it hides sometimes where you're least expecting it.  You can do it Uni!

    Hege - I think the only temptation free zone I have is my room.  No junk food there. (but mostly because I've already eaten it! LOL)
  • Hegemone said on Jul 15, 2009....
    Lol, I know how that is ... when there's junk food in my house and I'm free to eat it ... suddenly it's like I'm on a mission to destroy it as quickly and efficiently as possible (i.e. eat all of it .. NOW!)  Lol.

    I've been popping Hall's cough drops here and there as a work snack.  Makes you not want anything else for awhile.  I don't have an office job, (I just smell spices)   but maybe that doesn't make a difference with the craving thing.

    Most of us know that feeling of hunger. Hunger that would convince us to eat anything and everything. I think you were beyond strong.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 15, 2009....
    Hege - LOL seek and destroy! ;)
     
    wombie - I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not.  I'd tend to think smelling spices would make me more hungry!
     
    woman - now all I have to do is not give into the temptation of chocolate pudding in the fridge tonight ;)

    There are oatmeal cookies in the house.  I may have a banana in a bit to help my sweet tooth.

    Hats off to you, uni, for having such willpower.  :-)

    CW - MMMM cookies! (think Homer Simpson)  it's worth resisting, but barely!
  • MsStar39 said on Jul 16, 2009....
    You really have a lot of will power, I know that I would have eaten one or the other.
  • CayenneMan said on Jul 16, 2009....
      If I were you and I'm not. I would take along a baggie full of celery sticks and fresh carrots. You sound like you're on a mission. 
  • queenparanoia said on Jul 16, 2009....
    what's gardetto's???
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 16, 2009....
    MsStar - I probably would have had both a few months ago.
     
    CM - that's a good idea.  I am on a mission.  We'll see if I accomplish it.
     
    queenie - it's like a mix of bagel chips, pretzels and other crackers with a garlicy savory  flavoring added.
  • queenparanoia said on Jul 16, 2009....
    uniquely: holy crap... that's hard to resist!!! yummy!!!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 16, 2009....
    queenie - yes it is!!  Which is why there was already a 1/2 bag of it in my drawer! :)

    Lol..Dieting sucks! I have tried dieting like a zillion times, it always failed.

    Why are you dieting, anyway?  Just eat right & allow yourself occasional treats. Wouldn't that be easier? :)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 16, 2009....
    babygurl - well, at a certain age all food becomes the enemy!
  • destinydiva said on Jul 16, 2009....
    uni...is food not the enemy the whole way thru life??? :-) xx
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jul 16, 2009....
    destiny - I used to have a Pepsi and Snickers candy bar for breakfast well into my 30s with no ill effect.  I guess now it's time to pay the piper.
